If you’re great with people, a Customer Service career in our Branch Network could be a great choice for you. As one of the biggest and most important teams at YBS, our Branch Network makes a huge impact on the success of our business. We always look for ways to give the best customer experience, make things more efficient and try new things. And because we’re right at the beginning of an exciting digital journey, our future has never looked more exciting - and neither has yours.

About the Role

As a Customer Service Advisor you’ll:

  • Get to know our members and support them in finding the right products and services that can provide Real Help With Real Life - whether that’s saving for a gap year trip, buying a first home, or anything in between.
  • Facilitate great conversations confidently through channel of choice, as you support our members in branch, over the phone and with the operation of their accounts online.
  • Forget sales targets, and enjoy the freedom to do what’s right.

Here at YBS no two branches are the same, they each have their own characteristics and qualities that makes working there so special. Here is what the hiring manager had to say about Huddersfield branch.

“Our branch is in the centre of Huddersfield, transport into Huddersfield is great with bus and train links alongside a close proximity to the M62 motorway. For those who wish to drive there are car parks within a 5 minute walk to the branch and cost around £4 for the day.

Huddersfield is a branch like no other, not just because it’s one of the largest branches in the network but it’s an amazing place to work. It’s a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same alongside a team that have a willingness to go that extra step to make it successful. It provides a great opportunity for any individual to learn great skills and have a platform to grow. We are a large team of colleagues, 22 in total, made up of a Branch Manager, 2 Assistant Branch Managers and 19 Customer consultants. We have a real mixture of colleague experience ranging from 20 years plus to just a couple of months all with the right level of knowledge and capability to deal with our large customer base.”

About You

Being part of the team isn’t about being a whizz in financial services, or about having lots of customer service experience. Instead, it’s about:

  • Being great with people, and being able to talk to our members.
  • Challenging yourself to go the extra mile for your colleagues and our members, to help us grow and achieve our business objectives.
  • Understanding why it’s important to celebrate different people with different skills, experiences, and opinions.
  • Demonstrating a growth-mindset and making the most of the training and development we offer.
  • Having the ambition to become a leading expert on our products and services.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

You’ll find people from all walks of life here, with different cultures, beliefs, ages, outlooks and more. And we’re proud of our differences. So we’re dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome, supported, and empowered to be their whole self at work.

And we also have other colleague groups, such as ManKind and Family Foundations, where colleagues can connect, and start conversations that can be taken into the Networks.

Our Underwriters have the knowledge and flexibility to do the right thing for the customer.

Our commitments to Community and Charity

Ever since we started back in 1864, we’ve had a clear purpose – to do some good in our communities through helping people keep their savings safe. And helping everyone have a place to call home. Today, that purpose is still a huge part of who we are. And every one of our colleagues helps that happen.

We’re committed to volunteering our time, resources, skills and knowledge – more than 50% of colleagues contribute to thousands of volunteer hours every year. And our Charitable Foundation has now donated over £9 million to charities and good causes across the country.
